It's always; "Hamilton shot first." "No, no it was Burr!"

But it's never "Lin Manuel Miranda got so sick of writing Hamilton and used a time machine and proceeded to shoot Hamilton in the ribs"

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk!

Credits go to my dumb dumb brain

hamilton things i can't stop thinking about pt. 1

"Wait For It'", sung by Aaron Burr, is about being willing to wait for opportunities and not rushing into action.

His character is portrayed as being chronically cautious, because he has a reputation to uphold, unlike Hamilton.

But.

The one time Burr acts impulsively is when he shoots Hamilton, and right before the bullet hits he yells "WAIT!"

Burr regrets shooting Hamilton. Both of them have ignored their core song lyrics that they repeat over and over again.

Hamilton threw away his shot.

And Burr did not wait for it.

Let that sink in.

Why do you hate Alexander Hamilton so much? The guy lived and died before you were even born dude. He isn’t going to come alive and bite you XD

No, his actions just persist in the policies that my home nation was founded upon.

#guy was a warmongerer and also wanted Washington to basically play king #his politics were conservative and he offered to buy enslaved persons for his wife if she wanted #so he's not the abolitionist hero some like to paint him as #and Burr only challenged Alexander to a duel after MANY YEARS of Alex undermining his political ambitions #and trying to undermine voting results (intentionally party-splitting to get the other to win) so obviously once that George III knew #this is without getting into the adultery #look the musical fucked I can't deny that even after LMM's personal issues and the fandom that was born of it #and bi rights or whatever #(I am bi)#but as a person he objectively sucked #and I am allowed to have opinions on people fictional and dead even if they are no longer capable of actively directly influencing Now #PARTICULARLY when it's someone whose actions Have Indeed influenced modern history #his face is on the $10 ffs THAT'S how influential he was #not just with the formation of the modern banks but in general #tbh replace Alexander Hamilton instead of Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman #bc Jackson HATED the banks and Hamilton would HATE having his legacy diminished #if we're replacing Jackson we should replace him with Crazy Horse or another historically significant indigenous person #answers and shitposts #personal

the "i am not throwing away my shot" "just you wait" foreshadowing in nonstop still goes SO HARD even a decade later. lin was insane for this. truly a mastermind

#is he saying 'just you wait' to the people who doubt him?#or is the narrative haunting him because he WILL end up throwing away his shot in the duel with burr?#OR is it his loved ones asking him to stop and wait for a second before jumping into impulsive decisions?#YEAH. TO ALL OF THAT.#you can criticize hamilton all you want but if you try to deny it's a lyrical masterpiece you're either dense or stupid #hamilton #musical #alexander Hamilton #nonstop #lin manuel miranda

“It is not my design, by what I have said to affix any odium on the conduct of Col Burr, in this case. He doubtless has heared of animadversions of mine which bore very hard upon him; and it is probable that as usual they were accompanied with some falshoods. He may have supposed himself under a necessity of acting as he has done. I hope the grounds of his proceeding have been such as ought to satisfy his own conscience.

I trust, at the same time, that the world will do me the Justice to believe, that I have not censured him on light grounds, or from unworthy inducements. I certainly have had strong reasons for what I may have said, though it is possible that in some particulars, I may have been influenced by misconstruction or misinformation. It is also my ardent wish that I may have been more mistaken than I think I have been, and that he by his future conduct may shew himself worthy of all confidence and esteem, and prove an ornament and blessing to his Country.

As well because it is possible that I may have injured Col Burr, however convinced myself that my opinions and declarations have been well founded, as from my general principles and temper in relation to similar affairs—I have resolved, if our interview is conducted in the usual manner, and it pleases God to give me the opportunity, to reserve and throw away my first fire, and I have thoughts even of reserving my second fire—and thus giving a double opportunity to Col Burr to pause and to reflect.”

-Alexander Hamilton, published in the New-York Evening Post, July 16, 1804 (postmortem)

TW for the whole Hamilton-Burr duel.

Okay, so sources say that Aaron Burr loved his daughter. He made sure she was educated, taught her feminist values (even though he, himself, wasn't such a real feminist), etc. Her (his daughter, Theodosia) mother had already passed away. So why, in the name of G-d, did he go to the duel to kill Hamilton? Sources also say that he was prepping to actually fire at Hamilton. Either way (if he threw away his shot or let Hamilton shoot him), it'd impact her negatively—one, her father would die, leaving her an orphan. Or, two, he'd be a murderer, making her live in the shadow of a killer. If he loved his daughter, why did he go to the duel?

Even if it was an honor thing, people saw him preparing to kill Hamilton. He could've thrown away his shot like Hamilton. In fact, Hamilton had clearly stated to multiple people that he planned to throw it away. It's possible that Burr knew his plans.

I may not understand because I didn't live during his time. I may not understand because I don't have children. I may not understand for a multitude of reasons. But, I feel that if I was Theodosia, I'd be fuming.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. That is all, goodnight, farewell, I'll post whenever.

I cant wait for the day when people talk about historical figures without mentioning another person who has more popularity than them.

#STOP MENTIONING HAMILTONS ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHILE SPEAKING OF ELIZA‼️‼️‼️#like shes done so much other things than just be hamiltons wife #and then burr??#he has a whole conspiracy on him we dont need bring up his duel with hamilton when speaking of him #Theres things John laurens did during the Revolution which is pretty impressive too #at this point everyone knows about this relationship between him and hamilton you dont have to bring it up when speaking of laurens #AND THIS DOESNT JUST STOP WITH HAMILTON.#I know theres many people in history who cant even get an essay about them without them mentioning this one person who was in their lives
